Key Stage 1 has
been building houses
as part of their work
on the Great Fire of
London. The fire was
then re-enacted in our
school playground
and the children saw
how the fire spread so
quickly.

Road Safety – Driving?
If our Lollipop Lady,
Katie, is in the road
helping children cross,
please make sure you
stop no matter which
direction you are coming
from. Katie will indicate
when it is safe for cars to
pass. Please do not try
to sneak round Katie.
You risk hurting
someone. Mrs Allen has
asked Katie to report any
cars not helping us stay
safe. We will then need
to pass this on to our
Community Police Team.
On behalf of the School Council, Mrs Allen presented the Kenya
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KSPCA) with £50 and
a plaque from the school. This money will go towards supporting the
charity to care for a range of animals from cats, dogs, donkeys and
horses to monkeys and pigs. The plaque is now on one of the puppy
pens. Mrs Allen told the children all about it in assembly this week. Mrs
Allen showed the children video of the KSPCA staff thanking them for
their donation and telling them about their work. The children were
really saddened to hear about the painted donkeys. The School Council
are thinking about how else they might be able to help this worthwhile
charity. Look out for a stall at the May Fair.
Our very own Master Chef came in to give
Year 6 their first Master Chef tutorial on
omelette making. Food hygiene and safety
were also discussed as the children tucked
into ham and cheese omelette.

Moonshot Question
How much of a difference could we
make if we put all our minds to it?
Mr Sears’ App of the Week
This week: Tower Math
This makes learning maths fun! Free
the numbers with your magic towers
in this action packed, 3D game. The
numbers have been turned into
monsters by an evil wizard! As you
add, subtract, multiply and divide,
you build towers with magic powers
that can free the numbers. You can
also use your maths skills to earn
special powers like the Freeze Ray!
Apple: Yes
Android: Yes
Cost: £0.79
Thank you to all our dog owners for tying their dogs up in the
plaza area up by the school office when dropping off and
collecting children. It makes such a difference to the children who
are worried about dogs not to have them in the playground at all.
Please note that dogs cannot be carried around the playground
anymore and must be secured as requested.
MUSIC TO MY EARS! Saturday 18th April: Ensemble
Reza's Family Concert on at the King's Church, Burgess Hill.
Come and drop in anytime between 3-5.30pm and hear the group
perform (concerts from 3-3.45pm and 4.30-5.30pm) as well as try
out instruments provided by West Sussex Music and meet the
popular Kindermusik. Tickets available online from:
http://ensemblereza.com/events/ or on the door.
Mrs Allen went to visit the school’s foster
elephants out in Kenya over the holiday.
Tundani is soon to join Ishaq-B down in Tsavo
where he will learn how to be an elephant in the
wild. Miss Waters has fostered Ndotto and this
is Kamok who is also looking to be fostered.
Wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could foster a
herd? Go to www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org to
find out how you can foster an elephant. Let Mrs
Allen know the name of your elephant – we’ve
set ourselves a ‘Have You Herd?’ Moonshot
target to foster a Bolnore Herd of Elephants.
Join in and foster! You can make such a
difference with just £35. Thank you.
Have you heard? WSCC are recycling pots, tubs and trays now…
It was great to hear about targets and
progress now. Looking forward to the
Celebration Report! – Year 3 Parent
Something strange: Only one mammal can’t jump — the elephant.
